The magic  of the Ravenswood Conservation on Cape Ann , was felt there on a frosty winter night. I was hunting for owls. The snow was lightly falling.  The only sound was my footsteps as they moved forward with a quiet crunching of the snow cover beneath my boots.

The deeper I walked into the forist the dimmer the light. The quiet enveloped me like a warm cloak.  Then I heard an owl. Then a second. 

I looked up through the pine branches and there he was. He was watching for me.

 

As I began to paint Ravenswood, the magic of that evening returned to me. The more I painted the deeper I walked into the forest..until I felt complete. My work looked back at me, just as the owl had on that snowy night in February on Cape Ann. I breathed deeply, and set down my brush.
